Every aspect of life is better when we have someone to share it with!
Research supports this common sentiment.
But when we look around--how many couples do we see who are thriving?
How many couples have a passion and a friendship which improves, rather than fades witht the passing of time?
The common answer I recieve is..."not many."
However, a thriving love is possible! We all know an older couple who still has a sparkle in their eyes for each other after 50 years. So what is their secret? What does these incredible couples do and know that 90% of the population isn't?
If you look at information in the areas of neuroscience and modern psychology, the answer becomes clear. Here are just a few skills and concepts essential to a happy life together:
Self-regulation, not communication, is the most fundamental component to a happy relationship.
A mutual life list puts us on the same trajectory.
Mental strength is essential to creating highs and weathering lows.
A secure attachment helps our love age well with increasing intimacy over time.
Using emotion, whether positive or negative, as a motivator towards productive action is a key to daily happiness.
